Teachers
A warm welcome to the Education area. It is our intent to make
this the most informative website for teachers looking for resources
to teach and deliver athletics in primary and secondary schools.
For the last 10 months we have been rolling out our Elevating
Athletics Continuing Professional Development (CPD) awareness courses,
and are fast approaching 3000 teachers who have been trained in
its use. So far, the feedback from these has been very positive,
with teachers finding many new, challenging and enjoyable activities
to use in their lessons. Additional feedback, particularly from
those within the primary sector, is that the core activities contained
in the packs of running, jumping and throwing can be used in a
wider multi-skill context. So if you haven’t come across
this course yet, visit the Elevating Athletics website to find
out more.
The CPD courses are being run through out the UK: full details
of how to organise a course are contained in the pdfs below, or
you can call Henry Hammond to find out if a course is being delivered
near you.
In addition, we are developing a couple of exciting projects that
will support the delivery and assessment of athletics within schools.
These will be available in the near future. To support these, and
to integrate all grass roots delivery programmes, we writing some
exemplar schemes of work that will demonstrate how to get the best
from all the initiatives: we will make these available from this
site.
We regard all these resources as being in a state of development,
so if you feel there is something missing or fails to meet the
requirements, or if you are looking for a resource that doesn’t
appear to exist, use the feedback form below to contact us and
we will endeavour to help you.
We believe that with 2012 approaching fast we are faced with the
challenge of changing some of stale and traditional approaches
to teaching our sport. In this respect these are exciting times.
We are confident that we can help teachers succeed in enthusing
pupils of all ages and abilities to find, and participate in, events
that they find fun and which allow them to achieve success, at
whatever level.
